"Phew! What kind of thing are you, our family is one of the foremen of the East Factory, and you are the official position of the fifth grade, if you dare to do it to me, just wait to be cleaned up. ”

Zhang Yongyu is also a hard-mouthed master, maybe he also knows that some things must not be admitted, otherwise, I am afraid that I will really not be able to get out of here. And as long as he doesn't say anything, Jin Yiwei doesn't dare to do anything to them without enough evidence? Their lives will be saved.

Hitting the wall one after another, Zhang Ao was very angry, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Cao Huachun's body, this person is old, and he must not be able to stand these torture tools.

Unexpectedly, when he just looked at it, Cao Huachun said first: "Boy, our family is the head of the East Factory, and he has served as the eunuch of Bingbi, the prince of the East Factory, and the position of Zheng Sanpin, except for the emperor's order, no one can torture me, otherwise Long Live Lord will know and will definitely take your life." ”

Yes, nothing has been done, and the threatening words were said, which made Zhang Ao break out in a cold sweat.

I think he is just a showman, and he usually faces ordinary people, and the best person he has ever seen is the examiner when he was examined, and now he is facing Cao Huachun, a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, is indeed a lot of pressure.

Although Zhu Changwu said before that he would be given an official.

But that's just a statement, and there is no specific official position for himself so far, so he really has no confidence.

thought that if he couldn't handle these eunuchs today, he was afraid that he would die. Without confidence, he didn't even dare to torture Cao Huachun, who knows if the emperor would ask about this matter, if he really called people to the palace to ask, not to mention anything else, first saw the scars on Cao Huachun's body, I was afraid that he would preconceived that he was tortured.

Besides, Cao Huachun is also sixty years old, and Zhang Ao is also worried that these whips will really kill people, and at that time, I am afraid that many things will be even more unclear.

Zhang Ao stood in place, quite in a dilemma, and fell into Cao Huachun's eyes, which made him laugh involuntarily.

He has already seen that the confidence of the person in front of him is insufficient, so he has been suppressing people with power, he is delaying time, maybe he can wait until Li Zicheng enters Beijing?

Just when Cao Huachun was still laughing and scolding Zhang Ao for being nothing, suddenly a voice came out, "Zhang Ao takes the order." ”

As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the torture room looked sideways, Zhang Ao also turned around, and when he saw that the person who came was Zhu Changwu, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Ao's meeting was really under tremendous pressure. He didn't even know whether Zhu Changwu and they were winning or losing the war.

I don't know anything, I just came here to interrogate key criminals, or important criminals with high positions, and I am still a civilian, how can I not tremble?

If, if Zhu Changwu and the others were defeated, then he would definitely be alone, at that time, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get out of the imperial city, and he was afraid that his life would be lost.

Zhang Ao is gambling.

Bet that Zhu Changwu will not let him down.

But since it is a gamble, there is no 100% winning rate, thinking that the thieves have millions of soldiers, Zhang Ao's bet is afraid that there is not even a 30% winning rate.

But under such circumstances, after Zhang Ao met Zhu Changwu on the tower of Xuanwu Gate, he was told to do something, and he had no problem with anything, so he agreed in one bite. He has been doing his own thing with his heart, although he doesn't know if there is a tomorrow.

It wasn't until now that I saw Zhu Changwu, and the hanging heart could finally be put down.

Now that Zhu Changwu has returned safely from the emperor, presumably even if the Ming army does not win, the situation will not be too bad, at least he has a backer, at least if Zhu Changwu wants to escape, he should take him with him.

"Childe." Zhang Ao opened his mouth, and after saying this, it was obvious that the strength of his whole body was leaking outward, and looking at the posture, it seemed that he would be so tired that he would fall to the ground at any time.

"You're good." Looking at Zhang Ao's boiled red eyes, Zhu Changwu nodded with satisfaction.

Zhang Ao didn't know much about the situation outside, after he copied the mansion of Duke Chengguo, he personally sent the gold and silver obtained to Xuanwumen, and then came to the Jinyiwei dungeon without stopping after seeing only one side of himself.

He has been working diligently. Since he has paid, of course Zhu Changwu has to give it back.

"Zhang Ao took the order."

Zhu Changwu spoke again, and this time the voice clearly entered Zhang Ao's ears, making him stunned for a moment, and then he habitually fell to the ground with a plop, "Grass people Zhang Ao received the order, long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

Judging from Zhang Ao's performance alone, he is far more respectful to the imperial power than Zhu Changwu. Think about it, who would be like him, who will not kneel when he sees the emperor, and does not kneel when he receives the holy decree, even if he is not called a minister, but me?

By the way, only when what Chongzhen said satisfied Zhu Changwu, he would occasionally pat a few sycophants.

Such a person is, in the words of the Hereafter, a donkey. You can touch the hair in any way, once you don't agree, you will immediately turn your face and don't recognize people, it's really a bastard.

Seeing Zhang Ao kneeling on the ground, the corners of Zhu Changwu's mouth twitched, obviously he didn't like people who knelt down at every turn, but thinking that this was the end of the Ming Dynasty, even if he was entangled, it would not be able to change everyone in a while, so he simply let him go.

"The emperor decreed that Zhang Ao is diligent and very heartfelt, and he is hereby appointed as the head of the Criminal Department, and he is hereby appointed to the post of director of the Criminal Department."

Zhu Changwu came as soon as he opened his mouth, and directly gave Zhang Ao an official position of positive six products, which can be regarded as fulfilling his previous promise.

Outside the torture chamber, the crown prince Zhu Cihong and the eunuch Wang Chengen were looking at each other with big eyes at this time.

They all seem to be asking each other, has the emperor ever made such a will?

If not, wouldn't it mean that Zhu Changwu was falsely preaching the holy decree, and this guy was really not ordinary.

I wanted to come forward to stop it, explain the situation, and even reprimand a few words, but the two of them thought that Zhu Changwu had asked Chongzhen for power just now, and he had to succeed. According to this statement, it seems that Zhu Changwu is just a six-grade principal, and it is nothing.

Forget it, thinking that Zhu Changwu would not reason with you at all, Zhu Cihong and Wang Chengen invariably chose to ignore it, as if they hadn't heard this, and continued to look inside the torture room, waiting for what would happen next.

The crown prince and the eunuch didn't hear what they could do, but Zhang Ao really heard it.

His Majesty actually knew that he had given himself an official.

Oh my God, this is the kind of smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, or is it on fire.

Gongzi really didn't lie to himself, saying that he was an official, and he was really an official, and he also became the official position of Zhengliupin, which is even bigger than the order of a county, which is something that Zhang Ao never dreamed of before.

And now it's all about to come true?

The habitual Zhang Ao also reached out and pinched his thigh, and after feeling the pain, he knew that he was not dreaming, and then he was busy kowtowing, "Grass... Thank you Your Majesty Longen, the minister should do his best for the Ming Dynasty, never give up, go up the sword mountain and go down the sea of fire, and definitely not wrinkle..."

"Alright, get out." Seeing that Zhang Ao's words were about to start his commotion again, Zhu Changwu directly chose to ignore it, jumped over the other party, and came to the kidnapped Cao Huachun and the three people.

Zhu Changwu actually came and appeared in front of the three of them, which made Cao Huachun and their hearts involuntarily beat drums.

Although the battle had not yet started when they were captured, after they were escorted to Jinyiwei, they still heard people talk about the fact that the war had already begun.

Since the fight starts, there will be a winner or loser, Cao Huachun of course hopes that the thief wins, and they also believe that this is the most likely, otherwise, they will not betray Chongzhen, and risk killing their heads to contact Li Zicheng.

But now, Zhu Changwu actually appeared in front of them, what does this mean?

Is the battle over?

It won't be Zhu Changwu who led the army to win, right?

Or was the Ming army defeated, and Zhu Changwu fled back privately?

Yes, it must be the last possibility.

At this moment, Cao Huachun firmly believed that it must be Zhu Changwu's defeat and escape. If you want to break into the thief, you have a million soldiers, and there are only a few Ming troops in Beijing, less than 20,000, even if Yue Wumu is alive, it is impossible to win such a battle.

Thinking that Zhu Changwu was likely to be the general of the defeated army, he fled back first, and the courage of Cao Huachun and the others became stronger and stronger. Everyone is a sinner, so what is there to fear from each other.

"Hahaha, General Zhu, but the army was defeated? But do you know how powerful the Dashun Army is? Zhang Yongyu was the first to speak, and there was no lack of sarcasm in his tone.

"Haha, it must have been defeated, and then fled back without permission. What's the matter, seeing our family, you want me to intercede for you? Wang Xiangyao also opened his mouth, looking at the excitement, people who don't know still think that he is the winner.

"You... Why are you so smart, you can even see this, and you are worthy of the humerus of Dongchang, which is amazing. Hey, I've been defeated, and I'm coming to you now to see if there's any other way to go. At this time, Zhu Changwu no longer had the heroic posture just now, but a confused appearance of losing the battle and not knowing where to go.

Zhu Changwu was really defeated, and he admitted it himself. Wang Xiangyao, who heard this, couldn't help but laugh again, "Hahaha, okay, some people are like this, they don't hit the south wall and don't look back, and now they have lost the battle and come to our family." It's just that... It's hard. ”

"What's so difficult, Lord Wang has already contacted King Dashun, as long as you are willing to say something for you, my life should still be saved." Zhu Changwu said with a very pitiful and worried look, and then as if he thought of something, he said, "You guys, what are you doing with the three adults tied?" Don't loosen the tie yet, loosen the tie. Forget it, you're all clumsy, I'll do it myself. ”
